After more than a month of hard trekking, this grain transport team from Yingzhou, Huaibei finally arrived at the northern front line, under the city of Fengzhou.

Although Fengzhou City is one of the important passes located in the northern border of Great Vietnam, it is far from being compared with the heavy cities ahead, because the Guirong people were re-blocked by the border troops in front of them, this border city was not even affected by military disasters, and even the people in the city could live and work in peace.

But this does not mean that Fengzhou is not important. On the contrary, in the entire Jinzhou and even the overall situation of the northern border, Fengzhou plays an important role in this war, because it has become a major granary for the Great Vietnamese border army. Military rations from all over the south will first enter Fengzhou, and then be distributed to the front-line army and city.

To be honest, this is the result of Li Ling's consultation with officials from the Ministry of Revenue, Transportation Department and other officials. Because Fengzhou is in excellent location and is well connected, it can transport large quantities of grain from the official road to all parts of the north. Moreover, the current Fengzhou governor is someone who is quite convinced by Li Ling, so it is appropriate to make this a border army granary.

Seeing that Fengzhou's city wall, which was not very tall but full of vicissitudes, stood in front of him, the tired look in Li Ling's eyes also changed to joy: "I finally arrived safely." He said that, and turned his head and shouted loudly, "Everyone works harder, and when he enters the city, he will have a good rest. Then I pay for you to drink and eat meat and have a good time!"

Li Ling's words immediately won the cheers of the civilians and soldiers. He rushed along the way, both the animals and the civilians were exhausted. Only Li Ling was very good to them along the way, and he also showed his own examples, which made everyone convinced. Otherwise, there would probably be many people on the way to quit and run away.

Now, the end is imminent, and Lord Li is willing to pay for people to drink and eat meat. Naturally, they are full of energy. They are windy under their feet and walk forward quickly. In a blink of an eye, they arrive in front of the city gate. Someone goes forward to negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city and successfully enter this border prefecture city.

After entering the city, watching the entire team heading forward and back in an orderly manner, Li Ling waved his hand and called Li Moyun: "Moyun, go find Yang Chen and Yang Zhen brothers first, they should still stay here. And..."

"Young Master, I understand that I have to go to the prefecture government office to meet the local ruling master, and I will give you a standing first. After all, I haven't seen you for a few years and your identity has changed. I always have to say hello first." Li Moyun said with a smile, feeling quite happy, and also the meaning of joking about Li Ling.

Li Ling also laughed: "You know a lot, why don't you go quickly? When I transport the food to the place and hand over, I will go to the state yamen." As he said that, a circle of horse heads had already followed the team and continued to move forward. After agreeing, Li Moyun followed the street on the other side to the middle of the city.

As an important granary in northern Xinjiang, Fengzhou has arranged a large area as a warehouse at this time, which is located in the west of the city. Not only are many households cleared out, but there are also entire battalions of troops guarding the city, with towering towers and numerous horses standing in front of them. It is like a strict military camp, even more severe than the city gate.

Seeing Li Ling and his team coming, the defenders there immediately responded. Not only was there a team of people coming out, but also archers and spearmen raised their weapons behind them. The leader of the army rushed forward and asked, "Who is coming? What's the point of doing here?"

"I am the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Transportation Army Li Ling, today I will deliver the last batch of military rations. This is my investigation and co-operation!" Li Ling did not dare to be timid. There is no trivial matter in the army, but it is not a place to be used to make accent, so he honestly took out the investigation and co-operation documents and revealed his identity.

The other party was slightly stunned and did not dare to be careless. He stepped forward to take the relevant documents and said, "It turns out that Lord Li has been rude to be here. However, the villain dared not make decisions in the important areas of the military camp. He also asked him to wait for a while." After Li Ling nodded, he quickly turned around and hurriedly sent these documents and other documents in, asking someone to check and make a decision.

Li Ling waited patiently for a while outside. After a meal, the man rushed back. A team of soldiers wearing armor were also walking with him. With an order, the gate opened. The generals there clasped their fists at Li Ling: "Mr. Li, please send food to the camp."

"I'm working hard." Li Ling nodded to the others, waved his hand and signaled the team to enter the military camp with him. He was quite satisfied with this arrangement. Whether it was discipline or efficiency, it was much better than some prefectures in the Central Plains, so the military discipline was indeed stricter than the law.

Soon, all the teams entered the camp, and someone led the entire grain team to unload the grain and weigh it. This procedure was obviously better. Li Ling was asked by the two officers to wait for the other barracks, and he had to make some confirmation before he could leave.

Without refusal, Li Ling walked with the host and walked forward with them. While walking, he still looked around. He found that the soldiers here were either resting in their respective barracks or competing in groups of martial arts and strength in the open space. He looked full of vitality and everyone was striving for progress, which made him praise him: "It is said that the elite of the border army, and it is considered to be an experience when you see it today. By the way, which general will the landlord be here? Can you see it at first?"

"Uh, General Di of my family is patrolling outside. If he is not in the camp, he may not be able to see it." An officer glanced at Li Ling strangely and said casually.

Li Ling felt a little strange. What does it mean may not be visible. He is not going to leave immediately. Isn’t it normal for him to meet this landlord at that time? Perhaps these warriors can’t speak, so there is no need to delve into it.

Although he felt it was strange, Li Ling didn't take it too seriously. He continued to move forward and soon came to a barracks. At their instructions, he pushed the door open and entered.

A middle-aged man in green was sitting inside. Seeing him coming, he neither stood up to greet him nor smiled. He just nodded: "Mr. Li, right? Have you been sent to the northern border with military orders?"

Faced with such a stiff and direct question, Li Ling frowned. This guy looked like a military adviser, at most a sixth or seventh rank, and might even be just a white man. How could he dare to be so rude to himself?

You should know that Li Ling is now a high-ranking fourth-rank official. Even when he arrived in front of the Northern Army, generals dare not be so arrogant to him. But he still suppressed his anger and said indifferently: "It is the official. If there is no problem, please send the seal receipt and officially put all the grain in the warehouse."

"Who said there is no problem?" The man suddenly glared at his eyes and slapped the document on the desk: "Mr. Li, this is clearly written. You must transport the first batch of military rations by the end of February within a specified period of time. But what about you? It was almost a month late. What is the reason for such delay?"

Faced with such aggressive questions, Li Ling was really hard to reply toughly, so he could only explain patiently: "This is something wrong in the local area, which caused the military rations to be unable to be properly dispatched in time. This official has been working hard for several months and has worked hard to deliver the food as soon as possible. Although it was a month late to deliver the last batch of food, fortunately it delayed the major military affairs, so..."

"Who said that your lateness would not ruin the major events in our army!" The man immediately glared and slapped the table and said angrily, "Do you know that military intelligence is like fire? Not to mention delaying a month, just one day or an hour, it can also affect the success or failure of a war and the life and death of tens of thousands of generals.

"You are so good. You have made a big mistake. You dare to say so arrogantly that you have never misled things. Do you really think there are no rules in our army?"

This sudden reprimand made Li Ling a little confused. What was the trouble? Do you want to gain his authority or something? Is it necessary?

Just when he was a little confused about the other party's intention, the man slapped the table again and said, "Do you know that military laws are like a mountain, no one can avoid it? Our army has always had laws. The military rations have arrived three days late, the staff are fifty, ten days late, two hundred, and half a month late, and beheaded. Now you are even more late, and you are really not willing to die."

"What? You..." Li Ling suddenly shook when he heard this, but he obviously felt the strong murderous intent on the other party. This is the real thing.

"I am a fourth-rank official in the court, a governor of the transfer of transportation, and I am not a small official in escorting grain. How can you use this military law to target me?" Li Ling immediately refuted loudly, and at the same time retreated, wanting to escape from here first.

But the other party didn't give him this opportunity at all, and immediately shouted: "Come on, take him down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the half-closed door was quickly pushed open, and four or five burly military men rushed in. Without waiting for Li Ling to react, they had already pressed him down.

"In our army, there is always only military law, not judging identity. Even if you are the chief magistrate in the court and violate military law in the army, you should be punished according to the law!" The person on the opposite side had a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Trag him to the gate and behead him on the spot to be executed with the correct military law!"

Li Ling's heart suddenly sank. At this time, how could he not understand that this was clearly a killing game against him. The other party had already made arrangements and waited for him to fall in, so the soldiers and generals led him to this side alone when they entered the camp. That was why the officer said such words incorrectly, so they would wait early outside the door.

The biggest problem is that Li Ling still doesn't know why the other party is dealing with him like this. Who did he offend and even let them kill him regardless of everything?
